HISTORICAL NOTES The grape variety comes from Bordeaux, where it is traditionally used as a minor component of the blend of Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon. Petit Verdot is a late variety that has found ideal conditions in Agro Pontino, such as great brightness, persistent sea breeze and warm soils that allow the grapes to fully ripen, thus allowing it to be offered in purity, a true rarity at national level. GRAPES AND VINIFICATION 100% Petit Verdot, from very ripe grapes. The red vinification is partly carried out with a submerged cap for the extraction of the sweeter tannins and partly with punching down to obtain a good extraction of the color. Fermentation continues with a submerged cap for 15 days at a temperature ranging between 26-28 ° C. During the first phases of maceration, “délestage” * are carried out in order to make the tannins softer and the color more stable. After racking, malolactic fermentation begins, partly in stainless steel and partly in wood. Aging in barriques for 8-12 months and for 6 months in the bottle. * Délestage: Red vinification technique which involves the partial drawing off of the fermenting must. It consists in transferring part of the fermenting must into another tank with subsequent reintroduction from the top of the same into the starting winemaker, with the aim of oxygenating the fermenting wine and dispersing the marc evenly in the tank, thus facilitating a better transfer of anthocyanins (color) and polyphenols (tannins) from the skins to the must.
